Microbiological evaluation of bacterial and mycotic seal in implant systems with different implant-abutment interfaces and closing torque values

The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible leakage of 3 species of bacteria (Streptococcus sanguinis, Fusobacterium nucleatum, and Actinomyces odontolyticus) and of Candida albicans and Candida glabrata in osseointegrated implants with different implant-abutment interface (IAI) geometry.
